In this case (the connecting to nonstop), s/he would have been notified when s/he tried to board the aircraft given that the nonstop flight was an hour later. This would not necessarily be the case in some of the other instances described on this thread (where Delta changed a connecting itinerary to another connecting itinerary) so I am not sure exactly how notifications happened in that case.
